Temporary Exports

ATA Carnets & Carnet de Passage

If you are temporarily exporting your vehicle, we can assist with providing an ATA Carnet or Carnet de Passage to ensure taxes are not levied at destination.

This is common for destinations such as the UAE, classic car shows, racing events, or temporary relocations. We handle the complete application process.

  • Classic car shows and exhibitions
  • International racing events and rallies
  • Temporary relocations abroad

What is an ATA Carnet?

An ATA Carnet is an international customs document that allows temporary export of goods, including vehicles, without paying duties or taxes in the destination country.

It acts as a guarantee that the vehicle will be re-imported back to the UK, making it perfect for events, shows, and temporary stays abroad.
